<p>How is your team shaping up? Fans give their verdicts on the season ahead</p><p>I thought we’d narrowly avoid relegation before last season, so found our Championship win quite astonishing. But Simon Harmer won’t be the same unknown quantity this season and Jamie Porter will also be treated with more respect. Our middle order batting is somewhat brittle; it wasn’t regularly exposed last year due to Alastair Cook’s early-season involvement, which will be much reduced in 2018. Some of the aimless and generally negative captaincy at other clubs accounted for the huge discrepancy in the number of wins achieved by Essex compared to everyone else. The more enlightened teams will be far more proactive this season. <strong><em>Michael Shea</em></strong></p><p> <span>Related: </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/99-94-cricket-blog/2018/apr/10/county-cricket-talking-points-championship-new-season">County cricket talking points: six questions before the new season</a> </p><p> <span>Related: </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/apr/11/county-championship-2018-preview-divisions-one-two">County Championship 2018: Divisions One and Two team-by-team guide</a> </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/apr/12/county-championship-cricket-fans-previews">Continue reading...</a>CricketSportCounty Championship Division OneCounty Championship Division TwoEssexHampshireLancashireNottinghamshireSomersetSurreyWorcestershireDerbyshireDurhamGlamorganKentLeicestershireMiddlesexNorthamptonshireSussexWarwickshireThu, 12 Apr 2018 09:36:01 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/apr/12/county-championship-cricket-fans-previewsPhotograph: Stephen Pond/Getty ImagesPhotograph: Stephen Pond/Getty ImagesGuardian readers and Tom Stevens2018-04-12T09:36:01ZLighten up: readers' photos on the theme of sparklinghttps://www.theguardian.com/community/gallery/2018/apr/01/lighten-up-readers-photos-on-the-theme-of-sparkling
